Poetry: Reasons to stand in the rain

Because someday it will be illegal or poisonous or both

Because your hair doesn’t matter, and neither does your shirt

Because you want to make out with the sky

Because if someone really loves you, they’ll love you sopping wet

Because it traveled all the way to heaven, and still chose earth
